Rebranding Africa; VOGUE
The long awaited L’Uomo Vogue May issue dedicated to Africa is about to hit news stands and we get a sneak peak on the cover.
Could Vogue not find a better representative for their groundbreaking first ever Africa issue than Ban Ki-Moon? He is Chinese!!!
Just saying… I was available, all they had to do was ask!
Franca Sozzani, editor of Vogue Italia says:
“All the pictures are made in a glamorous way — there is nothing sad, trashy or poor. People may say that Vogue does not want to talk about sickness and poverty, but if we can give an uplifting image, it is helping people who would not have considered Africa at all. The whole issue is packed with portraits of local personalities: not just presidents, first ladies and queens, but also artists, singers, musicians, actors, stylists, writers, models. Every one has been portrayed in a positive light. They all agreed to take part in the issue precisely because presenting a positive image of the continent means focusing world attention on an area that has been hitherto excluded.”
Well, I am glad to see that others are now jumping on the Lamu Tamu bandwagon. Like Obama, everyone is evolving.
According to the New York Times,
The Vogue Italia editor has been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for Fashion4Development — a global campaign that uses fashion-based initiatives to support the United Nations’ wider issues in helping Africa.
D-Lish Image Of The Day
Portrait of a woman from one of the tribes of The Omo Valley in Ethiopia. Photographed by John Kenny.
What a dramatic way to begin the week! I love those tusk (maybe Warthog?) jewelry things they wear on their heads. I also posted a very intense album on our Facebook group page of many images by John Kenny. Be sure to check them out…and LIKE us!!

Bride and groom in China. The bride is wearing a dress made of thousands of roses.

The Weekend Baby!
I forgot to post this picture from a party last month. Good times.
Let us go out and be merry, that is my mantra this weekend. Life feels amazing!
Parenting TIME
I suspect this will be a scandal that will have Time Magazine laughing all the way to the bank… and just in time for mothers day.
On the next issue of Time magazine, a woman is photographed breastfeeding her 3yr old son on the cover.
I have talked about breastfeeding before believe it or not, check the article I did here.
Also, click here for more on TIME Magazine’s Are You Mom Enough cover.
I am so intrigued by this that I am currently reading up on human lactation, pretty interesting stuff!
Mommie Dearest
I created these meme’s for you to share just in time for Mothers Day! I am in awe and in love with all the mothers in my life…. especially my number 1 
This one is my favorite mother and child picture. Everything is perfect in the world with the mother knowing that her baby is asleep. But on a serious note, what is going on in this picture?
I also love this picture because you can tell that the mother is just exhausted but determined to keep working if the baby keeps sleeping.
I got you babe! Awwww
OK, I think this is my ultimate favorite. The pride and joy on that mothers face!!!!
